Welsh Open match discussion

[April madness]

Lee-Higginson would be a cracker today. Lee struggling to stay in the top 16(maybe even top 32), and Higginson battling his deserved spot at the top 32.If Higginson wins today, then he has a pretty good chance to reach at least in the quarterfinals, considering that Michael Judge awaits the winner of that match in the last 16.

Michael Judge is playing well, so won't be that easy opponent to Higginson or Lee

O'Sulivan has a difficult opponent. Youngsters such as Jud Trump show no respect to "the stars of the game" these days.

Based on his performance I don´t see why Higginson is a deserved top 32. Actually he needs a good run in this tournament even to get close. As sympatic he may be, he hasn´t yet shown any signs that he isn´t a one hit wonder.

Based on his performance this year I don´t expect O´Sullivan to get in trouble, but it would be funny to see Trump getting a good run.

I believe the first match in each of 3 sessions (and they will have tv cameras on the second match table as well so there might be some action shown from those matches if the first ones are over quickly) - so it's Ronnie, Hendry and Williams that we will see on TVs.

Hendry's match will definately get tv priority over Ding. It is fair as Hendry is the bigger name (although maybe not in china).

It wont be long before Hendry doesnt automatically get the tv tables any more though - there will be plenty of players ranked higher than him - so it will be harder to keep justifying giving him the tv table. At the moment though I'm sure if given a choice most viewers would want to see Hendry.

there's a chance that they will show some highlights from that match, but I am not sure. we have to wait and see what exactly they will show, I guess.

Also looking at their respective opponents, I prefer Holt over Campbell, if only for the funny faces

Livescoring is showing the match between Mark Selby and Mark Selby. The match is best of 17.
The frame score is 0-0 but Mark Selby is on a break of 72.

[gingerale]

I feel this is the match of the tournament.
Come on Mark!

[Nina]

Just when Mark was on 113, the livescoring froze. How will we know if he beats that Selby guy or not?

[gingerale]

Looks like they decided for rerack, Nina

[Sarmu]

Lol, 147 attempt

[Nina]

Looks like one of the Selbys conceded the match, it isn't on any more!

Aaaah, the joys of livescoring!!
I'm off to work anyway, I'll check here for the results before anywhere else, I trust you guys more!

[Black_cat]

PMSL! And Selby, of all people, to encourage more nasty jokes about ghosts (not that it would be very hard, given Mark's pale complexion) and doppelgangers and supernatural entities...
I think someone at the WSA website got extremely "merry" to achieve such a thing.

Really ?

In that case i take back my comment about Hendry definately getting the tv table. Things are changing if that is the case !

*************************************

Is Ronnie's match really starting at 1pm ?

It doesnt seem to be possible to view it ANYWHERE ?
